upennmanuscripts:New meme just dropped When I created this meme I lazily grabbed the manuscript image from a Google search, but it’s pretty neat! It’s the one in this story - the “Master of the Paris Bartholomeus Anglicus Book of Hours” which sold last year at Christie’s from the collection of Elaine and Alexandre P. Rosenberg.https://lithub.com/in-the-market-for-an-illuminated-manuscript-got-8-million/It’s not clear who purchased it (i.e., if it’s in a library now or in a private collection), but it sold for $3.5 million. Bling! No wonder Marge thinks it’s so neat!More about the sale here: https://www.artnews.com/art-news/market/rosenberg-rare-books-sale-plato-parisian-book-of-hours-1234590822/ -- source link
